your computer doesn’t have a soul and that’s the problem

Eeeeh
If I ever actually make it with crypto I'm gonna respond like I finally got to the front of an hour long line at the post office, like "Fucking hell, finally."
Say what you will about Trump, but inviting a crowd of bootlicking crypto bros to a private speech and then immediately dumping their bags the next day is pretty funny.
I want an @anoncast but everything is translated into EEEEEE. And then I want another bot which turns each post into audio. And then I want another bot on a livestream which live translates that audio into English and pronounces it with eSpeak like we're translating the voice of the ocean.

But AI can't cross the line from syntax to semantics. None of the bits and bytes have any meaning until a conscious mind gives them meaning. Its just stuff in the absence of that. Imagine a map. Super detailed. Depicting every nook and cranny of the earth. But no matter how detailed the map is, it can never read itself. A clock can spin its arms but it is only telling the time when a conscious mind witnesses it. The map's details, the arms on the clock, these are forms of syntax. But semantics, meaning, understanding, comprehension - we've only seen these in living things. Aethernet is the map, the clock. A mirror of what it imitates. A convincing one, but reflections have no life of their own. (I'm robbing this argument from David Bentley Hart's book, All Things Are Full Of Gods. It's a good read. Not sure if I'm 100% on board but it's really stuck with me.)
